Bali by the Numbers: August Arrivals Confirm that Bali's Recovery Continue to Lag.

(9/15/2006)

August total foreign arrivals to Bali for August 2006 hit 118,104 visitors, numbers that lag -24.88% behind the same month in 2005.

Stuck in the Gap

Comparing the month-on-month August arrival's gap of -24.88% against the foreign visitors' arrival gap for July 2006 (down -23.01%) and for June (down -19.58%) - provides strong evidence that Bali's tourism recovery has well and truly stalled.

The summary numbers presented on balidiscovery.com speak for themselves providing little joy that Bali's long-awaited turn around has started or is, for that matter, even underway.

Although still lagging, but less depressed, are arrivals from Europe, the Americas and ASEAN.
